This style of training, done once per week, will help you maintain muscle mass, hopefully avoid injuries, and make you a stronger & faster athlete.
Included: Detailed instruction and coaching, and printed copies of workouts.
What to bring: water, workout attire, yoga mat or towel, one set of dumbbells OR one kettle bell OR one medicine ball * a weight that is challenging, but you are still able to lift it over your head.
